Atari Announces The Ultimate Chapter In The Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Series

[Ciel]

– Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Game Set for Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system –
NEW YORK, NY, MAY 21, 2007 – Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR) one of the world’s most recognized brands and a third-party video game publisher, today announced that Dragon Ball Z®: Budokai Tenkaichi™ 3 is in development for Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 combines the lightning fast fighting and action that have made Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and Budokai Tenkaichi 2 the #1 fighting games of 2005 and 2006. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. / Spike, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is slated to release during the 2007 holiday season.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 delivers an extreme 3D fighting experience, improving upon last year’s game with over 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting techniques, beautifully refined effects and shading techniques, making each character's effects more realistic, and over 20 battle stages. In addition, an improved control system for the Wii will allow players to easily mimic signature moves and execute devastating energy attacks as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series.

“Atari is incredibly excited to offer the ultimate chapter in the Budokai Tenkaichi series with over 20 new characters that have never been seen in any other DBZ video games such as Nail, King Cold and King Vegeta and battle stages that fans will love,” said Emily Anadu, Senior Product Manager, Atari, Inc. “Each year, the developers refine the game to bring fans closer to feeling like they are actually playing the show.”

In addition to the unprecedented number of characters and improved Wii control system, the environments have also been enhanced to feature day and night stages, The power of the moon in the night stages gives players additional ways to transform their characters and lets fans recreate some of their favorite memories from the show.

The immensely popular Dragon Ball Z®series is the gold standard of anime-based video games, with more than 25 different games and over 10 million units sold since May 2002.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is set for release this holiday season. For more information on Dragon Ball Z video games, please visit http://www.atari.com/dragonballz.

[Spyda]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Fianly

[IluvTenkaichi]

do u think itll be good this time???not just fun for a few months??

[Zellgadis]

They didn't really tell us anything new other than it's release date. But any info is better than no info. Hopefully we'll get some videos and more information soon.

[IluvTenkaichi]

but do u want to know the whole dang character list?

[Spyda]

but do u want to know the whole dang character list?
I wanna wait for the game to see the characters in it

[DBZ_KILLER]

yay cant wait

[SSJ5Vegeta]

They didn't really tell us anything new other than it's release date. But any info is better than no info. Hopefully we'll get some videos and more information soon.
They did tell us a lot! 20 arenas, improved fighting engine, refined moves:D

[L Lawliet]

Yes! This shall be the best BT!
I'm all up for improved controls for the Wii! :D

Hopefully, this game has online play.

[Dark Shuyin]

well we are not getting the whole character list like we had last year, someone got fired because he gave it last year

BUT THE WHOLE LIST WAS COOL TO HAVE

[zeromk5]

WOW I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
im getting this game HANDS DOWN. hopefully it has the option to change to the original japanese soundtrack(does it? havnt read all of the list yet) if it does, im getting it the day the game comes out, or even preorder it.

[Dark Shuyin]

nope, we dont know that yet.

but...DS...what do we know?

glad you ask!

- its for PS2 and Wii
- we have around 150 characters
- we have 3 more maps one of them is space level (20)
- Nail, King Vegeta, King Cold are confirmed
- a bit more stuff. but im too lazy to put it down

[Kayro Shin]

So this game has more eye candy? I really wanted them to say something about gameplay... oh well guess I just have to wait for more pics and videos.

[Dark Shuyin]

yup, Bt2 had a 8,2 for gameplay and It would be nice if BT3 had a 9 or something

[Forgive-me]

Guys, I'm certain this will not have the Japanese music. It's just too much money to obtain the licenses for the tracks. ATARI are pretty much bankrupt in that area. ATARI know it is cheaper to use existing tracks or to make their own.

(Dark Shuyin) I use to be called DS, you copy cat!

[Kamiccolo33]

3 new arenas including the space level? Oh....:bored:

So that means there is less chance of having some good levels in there.

Especially when they need:

Planet Tuffle
HFIL (from Janemba movie)
New Planet Vegeta
Otherworld Tournament

As long as they improve all the other ones as well, because they do need some fixing up, especially the city level.

I think that the levels they are showing in the screenshots are just from T2 where they are just testing the gameplay for now. It's just a hunch, but they will probably do them up later.

well i'm sorry miss!

but I own this name for 4 years now when I started with Dark Squall
later my name became even more sexy and it became Dark Shuyin
I am the UNSOD (Ultimate News Seeker Of Doom) at the DBZ forum I go to and there I also have the nickname DS, I'm loved there...really

Pardon my French but WTF are you talking about?:weird:

J/K, I was only trying to have a laugh with you, Sir Robot mind, that can not compute any sense of humor.:rolleyes:

yeah, well, I don't really have a back history to this place like you have.

[Kaditsu]

So for those of us who have played the European/Japanese Wii version it's just two new arenas? I hope the others have at least had a makeover!

Anyway, glad to see the US version officially announced, I'm waiting now for Atari Europe to announce it (I mean it's obviously going to happen and everything, but it will be nice to see it official.)

[Majin Trunks]

OMG! The Forum is open and game info available! Great!

[obeida]

Yes! Finally.

[Dark Shuyin]

Anyway, glad to see the US version officially announced, I'm waiting now for Atari Europe to announce it (I mean it's obviously going to happen and everything, but it will be nice to see it official.)

we have 3 arena's I believe.

the ones i want

- Janemba's Place
- King Kai's Planet
- Planet Vegeta (Since King Vegeta is avaible):o

[Kaditsu]

Oh I must have misread somewhere. Either way I know I want at least one other world level, be it Hell, King Kai's planet, King Kai's Planet/Snake Way or even Janemba's Hell or GT Hell. Just SOME other world place would be nice.

Also an arena from Dragon Ball, you know Budokai had the Red Ribbon Army HQ and a Muscle Tower stage in its past, they could at least throw in maybe Baba's Palace or the original Tenkaichi Budokai arena from DB because if they do a DB storymode a LOT of fights will be inaccurate if they use the Z Tenkaichi arena.

[Vishkugeta]

They finally have the BT3 Forum. :D I hope the 3 stages are HFIL, King Kai's Planet/Snake Way and Hades or a Dragonball Stage.

[DBZ_KILLER]

GO DBZ T3 :p

[Heatblast]

This looks great! I want to see more pics or some gameplay videos.

[Kuricoloken]

... I sure hope you guys realize that by "improved fighting engine" they probably mean something like "a new rush-like move" or one - two more generic moves, rather than an INDIVIDUAL battle engine for each character or something. Please try not to get your hopes up until we see some gameplay videos. Announcements and developer interviews are always over-the-top.

[obeida]

See there you go again ruining it for other people. Stop doing that. Wait till we see some game play then rant. Your pulling these facts out of no where.

[Dark Shuyin]

See there you go again ruining it for other people. Stop doing that. Wait till we see some game play then rant. Your pulling these facts out of no where.

I agree. If i see one more of those posts of him I will report him

[Kuricoloken]

I'm not ruining anything, honest! I'd like a DBZ game as much as the next guy, but history has proven that T2 wasn't radically improved over T1. It's very LIKELY (not certain) that T3 will be a slightly improved T2 !

I just can't understand why can't people see that?

[Dark Shuyin]

BT2 was the best game and only second to B3

[obeida]

How about we keep all comments until we see something alright? If we see it gets bad I'll apologize and help you rant if not you lose and you never talk bad about this game again.BT2 was the best game and only second to B3 Bt2>>>>>>>>>>>b3 :mad:

[Kuricoloken]

And how exactly did I talk "bad" about the game?

[dudester]

is dere an online mode cause if dere isnt dats just goin to be messed up
am i right people?

[obeida]

We don't know yet.

[Majin Trunks]

BT2 was the best game and only second to B3Agreeing with 120%.

[obeida]

Agree -120%

[DBZ_KILLER]

t3 will kick t2 a**
t3>>>>>>>>>>>t2>b3>t1

[obeida]

I agree with that 200 %

[Kayro Shin]

t3 will kick t2 a**
t3>>>>>>>>>>>t2>b3>t1

You can say ass.

[DBZ_KILLER]

ok...

[Nusaru]

"I agree. If i see one more of those posts of him I will report him"

He has the right to his opinion, get over it.

[Kayro Shin]

ok...

What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to censor ass with the "*".

[Dark Shuyin]

"I agree. If i see one more of those posts of him I will report him"

He has the right to his opinion, get over it.

this has been discussed already. dont continue a useless argument

[DBZ_KILLER]

I KNOW

[SSJ5Vegeta]

What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to censor ass with the "*".
Surprise surprise:haha:

On topic. We should get on topic:cool: I wonder when we will see some more scans or even footage from the game. Probably at the end of the month or so:up:

[obeida]

Or we could rebel and get it this week. Theres nothing we can do know. All we can do is put our suggestions through this is the time they really need to hear our answers.. I think.

[Kayro Shin]

We'll probably get 2 new images with the Jump Magazine, which comes every week (if I'm not mistaken).

[Kuricoloken]

Or we could rebel and get it this week. Theres nothing we can do know. All we can do is put our suggestions through this is the time they really need to hear our answers.. I think.

Err... isn't it a little late for suggestions? They probably must have made about 60% of the game so far. I guess. They probably considered the suggestions you guys posted for like, the first three months after Budokai Tenkaichi 2 was released.

That's not a fact; it's just my opinion.

... hey, nice text for a sig. "That's not a fact; it's just my opinion."

[Mystic Gohan]

YWEYouSALReaju;lnvgp98f; flihcfcYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DBZ_KILLER]

YWEYouSALReaju;lnvgp98f; flihcfcYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*smaches head in to table for 10 mins*

[Mystic Gohan]

Damn Straight! This is good stuff!

[L Lawliet]

*smaches head in to table for 10 mins*
:haha:
Damn Straight! This is good stuff!
Ditto. :cool:

[Super Trunks]

Man!!!! I can't wait for this game, day and night stages sound awesome. I can't wait to see videos and what other new characters will be added! BT3 is going to be the best one yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Forgive-me]

Actually, B3> BT2> So on.

If BT3 is anything like BT2 then it will only end up as B3 winning.

I like in depth game play. Not flying from red dot to red dot. I also like more combos with more depth = B3 again.

[SSJ5Vegeta]

T3 > B3 > T2 > Tenkaichi 1 > B1 (Because of the cutscenes) > Super DBZ > B2 > Final Bout > Sagas.

That is at least my opinion.

[Kuricoloken]

Sagas is worse than Final Bout? Man, I'm SO glad I didn't buy that game!

[blackman34]

i disagree

right now
t3=b3=sdbz>bt2>b1>b2>bt

[Dark Shuyin]

BT1 sucked indeed

[Kuricoloken]

BT1 sucked indeed


:eek:

[Sheathe]

Uh. Just a question about the title. Ultimate means final. Will this be the final Budokai Tenkaichi game? And if so, does that mean that Atari plan on starting a new DBZ series, picking up Budokai again or giving up on it?

[Mystic Gohan]

:eek:

Yeah BT1 did suck.

[Kuricoloken]

Who knows? My opinion is that two sequels are PLENTY, and there needs to be a new DBZ game series for the PS3 or the Wii. Perhaps the PS3 could get two sequels for Super DBZ, while the Wii could get some sort of RPG DBZ game (one without cards).

I sincerely hope that BT3 is the last BT3, at least for the PS2. In my opinion, the perfect DB game would be one that chronicles every single battle of the series, with cutscenes like those in B1, using an updated engine of BT3, having multiple fighters on-screen, and spectacular PS3 visuals.

... I think I just reached an orgasm.

[dbz#1]

The only thing I ask for
.Online play
.Make the cutscene between cell and gohan more dramatic and detailed like the anime.

[Zellgadis]

Cutscenes are great when the game or the system wasn't powerful enough to let you control what goes on in the cutscenes. I'd rather not have any cutscenes. None for the story mode, none for character attacks or techniques, nothing. I want to control everything. I want to run down Snake Way with Goku and experience it and not watch him do it. I want to be Adult Gohan training with the Z Sword to build up my power level. I want to be Vegeta training in 400x gravity, etc. The story mode should not be just about the battles because DBZ is not just about the battles. It's about the adventures, the training to get stronger, losing battles to learn your mistakes and get stronger, and more.

I believe there's a high likelihood that BT3 will not be the last DBZ game. I believe they have been simaltaneously working on a next-gen PS3 game, the beginning of a new series, while another team works on BT3 for the PS2 and Wii. We've gotten our hopes up very high from what our ideas are in the Suggestion threads, and BT3 will only be a minor taste. Only a next-gen game can bring everything together; from online play to multi-character battles on screen at once, to huge interactive and barrierless arenas and worlds, realistic character sizes, realistic energy graphics and sizes, etc.

Should we start theorizing what the next DBZ game's names are? XD

[Sheathe]

We all know it's about the battles. That's why this is a fighting game.

Cutscenes for the win!! Budokai 1 quality, ploz!

[IluvTenkaichi]

i like B1 cutscenes best

[Theluckycon]

so...do you think this might be the last one?

=(

[obeida]

Real order is... T3>t2>>>>>>>>>>b3>b2>b1>t1>sdbz

[THEGOKU]

Real order is... T3>t2>>>>>>>>>>b3>b2>b1>t1>sdbz
how because it doesnt make sense and this game is awsomex10:up::up:

[Forgive-me]

Real order is... T3>t2>>>>>>>>>>b3>b2>b1>t1>sdbz
That's it to you. However, a high manority on us beleibe B3 had the depth and feel to it that just makes it all the more better.:)


BT3 can't be commented on yet because of a simple reason.

1. It's still in production and anything can change.

B3 then BT2, Legends, Final Bout and B1 because it had a comic look to it.:)

However, this is just my own opinion and does not mean anything to you guys.

[jurehumar]

I WANT GOKU GOLD GREAT APE!!!!!!!!

[DesiGamer2005]

Wow! O_O I really should come back more often! Thanks, Ciel! You did it once again! I've been so busy that I've missed out! No doubt T3 will rock!!!:D

[majinwarrior24]

Real order is... T3>t2>>>>>>>>>>b3>b2>b1>t1>sdbz

I don't understand how you can you possibly say T3 is better than any of the previous DBZ games:rolleyes:. We've only seen a handful of screen shots and there hasn't been any video game footage as of yet.

[obeida]

I assumed that it will be better. Whats wrong with that?

[Broly LegendSSJ]

well wait and we will see if it´s better then the other games ...

[dboy1373]

i hope they have our ideas in their
that would be cool to see create a saga

[Broly LegendSSJ]

create a saga ... :weird:

[Vegito4real]

Cutscenes are great when the game or the system wasn't powerful enough to let you control what goes on in the cutscenes. I'd rather not have any cutscenes. None for the story mode, none for character attacks or techniques, nothing. I want to control everything. I want to run down Snake Way with Goku and experience it and not watch him do it.

It's about the adventures, the training to get stronger, losing battles to learn your mistakes and get stronger, and more.



Yeah.
That would be awesome
But i think that they are gonna put cutscenes...

[Doomsiren]

how the **** can you create your own saga?:rolleyes:

[Broly LegendSSJ]

how the **** can you create your own saga?:rolleyes:

that`s what I meant with


create a saga ... :weird:


I mean playing your own created sagas ... where´s the suprise? U always know what happens. And how create cutscenes without own audio-files?

[Doomsiren]

and how do you want even implent it into a game? i mean, do you have to write your own story or something? creating your own enemys. srry, but i don't think that will be ever implented in a game

[Zellgadis]

and how do you want even implent it into a game? i mean, do you have to write your own story or something? creating your own enemys. srry, but i don't think that will be ever implented in a game

Read the Game Suggestion thread over in the BT2 forums. Epyon has a great vision on an RPG saga maker.

Here's a little preview:

You're the captain of a Saiya-jin crew, Low Class Warriors. You live on Planet Vegeta, where you would be able to hang out, walk/fly around the cities, interact with others. You'll be able to approach Frieza and recieve orders to take over a planet. You'll move to your space pods and blast off to another planet. You'll fly up into the air and use your scouters to scout the power levels of the strongest warriors, fly to them and be able to interact and battle with them. Over time a full moon might develop so you can transform. If you're injured, you can get back into your space pod and fly back to Vegeta to go into the rejuvenation chamber. The extent of the damage will boost your power level by a certain amount. Through battles you'll watch you and your crew get stronger, challenge other Saiyans, etc. This would also mean there'd be a some sort of a create-a-characer mode also. Doing this with a Namekian, a Human, etc. These could be separate timelines or they can be in sync with the original DB/DBZ/DBGT storylines and be able to be a part of it, changing the outcomes. You can use your character team of Nameks or Saiyans and load them Online to battle other teams, where power levels ACTUALLY matter. Through battles in the saga maker adventure mode AND online your character and team can boost their power levels so there's incentives to play online, to train with others in gravity chambers, etc.

Yes, this would be lots of work to create all the different worlds, people, races, battle modes, programming to allow you to write your own stories and have them be able to make sense and still be interesting, etc. This is not something that I expect the developers to be able to do anytime soon, maybe in a few years but at this rate the story modes of DBZ games are half-assed due to little time in between game releases.

People have already gotten sick of repeating the same storylines over and over again. And until they're able to allow you to actually be a part of the DBZ universe people will still feel the same way unless they make the original storylines amazing, even moreso than the actual show.

[troten]

this is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marby]

this is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:up:

Welcome to Atari! :salut2:

[Ult.Gohan]

I know what Im gettin for x-mas... Just 1 question, why is it for ps2 and not playstation 3???

[DBZ:BT3 FAN]

It might become available for the PS3 depending on the sales on the PS2. As this is mainly the case with all videogames moving onto a new console.

[Vishkugeta]

I think they're just ending off the Tenkaichi series on the PS2/Wii and starting a new series on PS3/Wii like many have said.

[Ult.Gohan]

Oh I see!!!

[DesiGamer2005]

You think they're gonna do it like before? Like Tenkaichi (only PS2) then, Tenkaichi 2 (PS2 & Wii) and now with Tenkaichi 3 (PS2, PS3 & Wii)?

[Wicked Poster]

ABSOLUTLY RIDICULOUS! Why isn't it on the next gen consoles so the gaming experience can be even better?

[Lightspartan55]

Why is there no next gen they couldn't pull it off or what.


By the way i don't consider the Wii next gen.

[Bob9600]

I think I know why they arnt havnt it on the Ps3, I believe it is because they want the tenkaichi series to end on the old generation of consoles and the Wii since it has a good way of playing.

[DBZ:BT3 FAN]

I think they're just ending off the Tenkaichi series on the PS2/Wii and starting a new series on PS3/Wii like many have said.
Yes, you could be right about that. ^_^

[Lightning]

Probably so. I hope that is the case.

<snip>

That I am hoping they will achieve within the new Series of DB Games! I have to give props to Epyon for that insightful Idea.

[zeromk5]

I think I know why they arnt havnt it on the Ps3, I believe it is because they want the tenkaichi series to end on the old generation of consoles and the Wii since it has a good way of playing.
yeah i HIGHLY agree with that. they probably wanted to give the new dbz game for the ps3 (if they're making one) a different name, instead of budokai tenkaichi, something like.....super budokai....ok i know its lame just an example.

so it means everyone who has played the previous BT series will be disappointed if it was released on the ps3, since they have to get themselves a ps3 and also since the two previous games were released for the ps2 already.

[Bob9600]

I believe that this is a good move... now the only thing I wonder is who they will have make the next Dbz game series?

[adz06676]

So this isn't coming out for the ps3?

[Kayro Shin]

So this isn't coming out for the ps3?

Nope. Only for PS2 and Wii.

[supergokhan]

makes sense to me

[Blanker]

I need information...........

[supergokhan]

all i know is they are releasing the third tenkaichi on ps2/wii as to to start fresh with a new series on the ps3.
T3 is gonna have around 150 charachters 20 more than T2 .
it has alredy been announced to be released this year
and three charachters have bin confrmed.Nail,King Vegeta and King Cold
the charcters graphics have improved slightly also with the larger capabilities of the wii

[Mtwarrior]

more characters.

[Mystic Gohan]

Thats a given.

[Hellsing]

thats right

[912]

I hope they will make more for ps2 after this one.

I already like this game though.

[SSJ5Vegeta]

Why should they do that? Then the PS3 would have gotten so much better, that the PS2 wouldn't be able to compete.

[912]

Well... Some people have no intention of buying a ps3.

[SSJ5Vegeta]

Well, then that is bad for those nostalgic people that refuse to take their own decisions because others thought that the PS3 sucked a few months after release. That shouldn't prevent all the players that want a real next gen DBZ game from getting one.

There isn't really a lot bad to say about PS3 when you look towards the future. Cheaper, better backwards compability, upgrades, more games etc. But of course, some people are just way too close minded to change their opinion about something.

[912]

I'm just saying it would be good if they continued making them on both consoles.

I sure can't wait for a ps3 dbz game though.

[snova]

well i think that you should put the other six shadow dragons in the game. you should also make 2 set of dragonballs the regular ones and the black star dragonballs. finally u should add kid goku from gt in the game and make him transform into super 4 goku just like the cartoon (including the golden monkey only for story mode).

i think they should add the black star dragonball in story mode and it should go like this the dbz gang called on the dragon to wish everything back to normal after what happened at hfil. they noticed that the balls were cracked so they think when they called on the dragon it will be good as new. they called the dragon and negative energy comes out the balls and then seven dragons came and and spread across the earth causing total destruction.

in budokai tenkaich 2 u have super saiyan 4 goku and vegeta defeat omega sheron in the last batttle well i think u should have kid goku (gt) defeat omega sheron on 1 on 1 using the spirit bomb

Don't post multiple times in a row, next time use the edit button, thanks! ~ Marby

[adult_gohan]

in budokai tenkaich 2 u have super saiyan 4 goku and vegeta defeat omega sheron in the last batttle well i think u should have kid goku (gt) defeat omega sheron on 1 on 1 using the spirit bombI swear that in bt3 that will be like this because they said that its the ultimate chapter :bored:

[kayne]

yay now actually do something and add create a character and online and this game will kick ass

[ultimate_saiyan]

Create a character would suck and online is way overrated.

[Mystic Gohan]

Says some 14 year old. Personally I wish those features stay exclusive to Dragon Ball Online but I woudnt mind if Sparking! METEOR gets them as well.

[ultimate_saiyan]

wow your mature. Some guy who is older than me insults me using my age lofl what a *****.

[Mystic Gohan]

Well the fact that you expressed your meaningless opinion in a rude way shows off your maturity just fine. Anyway the majority has made known what it wants.

[Mtwarrior]

:eek: ...anyway I think they show just call it meteor not tenkaichi 3.

[Mystic Gohan]

Agreed.

[kayne]

go on name 1 game where create a character didnt help at all oh yes theres right there is no such game besides 6 years straight of dbz budokai honestly create a character is the perfect way to salvage the game from getting stale hell look at WWE games it saves them even though there gameplay is often sucky

again how would online suck barring a poor implentation of it oh ya thats right it wouldnt

so i ask how does the 14 year old respond to this other than admitting im correct and hes wrong?

[USSJ_Vegeta]

Hopefully, Whiteguy will provide us with some info.

[King Chiaotzu]

Is this the last Budokai Tenkaichi -game?

Or are they going to do "Budokai Tenkaichi 4":

10 NEW CHARACTERS!!!!

2 NEW STAGES!!!!!!!!!!

ITS MOST EXPLOSIVE DBZ-GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVER 160 CHARACTERS!!!!

This can continue like this:

Budokai Tenkaichi 5!!

Budokai Tenkaichi 6!!!

Budokai Tenkaichi 7!!!

And we will notice that our rooms are full of Tenkaichi game and we play only the newest one!!

:down:LOL:D

[zeromk5]

Is this the last Budokai Tenkaichi -game?

Or are they going to do "Budokai Tenkaichi 4":

i'm highly sure that this will be the last. they wouldnt call it "The Ultimate Chapter In The Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Series" for nothing.

and remember, the fact that the game wasn't released for the ps3 proves that this is the last because it shows how spike wanted to finish the series all in the same generation of consoles

DragonBall Z Tenkaichi Budokai 3: Return of the Sayian

This was in my mind when Tenkaichi 3 was announced lol.

[PhantomFighter]

yay; that's really keeping us quiet. king vegeta! piccolo better fuse in battle!

i'm highly sure that this will be the last. they wouldnt call it "The Ultimate Chapter In The Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Series" for nothing.

and remember, the fact that the game wasn't released for the ps3 proves that this is the last because it shows how spike wanted to finish the series all in the same generation of consoles

You know, they said tenkaichi 1 was the ultimate dbz game.It's on the back of the box.

[PhantomFighter]

mmm....most explosive fighting game ever
T2 rocks!
except heavy crush doesn't knock ppl through the "destructable environment"

You know, they said tenkaichi 1 was the ultimate dbz game.It's on the back of the box.

They always says that. "Most explosive","Ultimate chapter!",etc.

They are for advertising. If they dont write something like "Ultimate dbz game", it´s not so interesting.

At Atari´ssite, there was one feature of Tenkaichi 2, that there is new characters that have never been seen in battlefields of the series. They were only Oozarus for Raditz, Nappa...

[IluvTenkaichi]

you will never see a game cover say"NOT REALLY THAT MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST!" or "STILL EXPLOSIVE, BUT THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER!!"

Well, I don't see where there could be any hatred or doubt in this game, as I really liked T2. I just want a good game besides Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure that is a DB game... Or integrate a DB system into Tenkaichi. It's so lame that Goku and other characters can't fly. There's also just the "Kid Goku" who's like 13 instead of the grown up one that fights Piccolo Jr. I mean, not to be insulting, but they pretty much mess up DragonBall each time they try to integrate it. I wish they'd add a REAL DB story that's almost as long as the DBZ one and you can experience every character Goku meets and every adventure. THAT would truly be a good game. DBZ is fun, but I like DB more, as a lot of fans do, and it is never really in a game except for DB:AA, which was fun, but only lasts about 6 hrs + extra replaying time for fun. There needs to be a new DB game, am I wrong? If so, I'll be in torment then, I guess.

[Tenkaichi Fan]

Why doesn't they show anything? Or change the official site. When Bt2 was announced there were every week some new screens and new videos. But here it's really quiet..

I would love to see some videos and Screens!

[<_Spike_>]

Because they're being extra tight on information and more sparse with it after BT2s information leak

[dansandankaissj]

i dont know, but, in christmas, I want that game in my hands

[Heatblast]

Tomorrow is when the scans come in.:D

[DBZBoii]

we still got nuthing :(

[jopeteus]

Hey, if they won't do anymore DBZ games, DBZ will be killed. No more fans, no more DB.

[<_Spike_>]

Yeah because the DB fan base is kept up solely by the games...lol funny...eventually it'd be picked up by another company anyway
